  2. 1. The Multifunctional Pipette. A Microfluidic Technology for the Biosciences

    Author : Alar Ainla; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; microfluidic superfusion; microfluidic temperature sensing.; microfluidic dilution; hydrodynamic flow confinement; microfluidic mixer; supported lipid membranes; single-cell analysis; Microfluidics; microfabrication; PDMS;

    Abstract : The theme of the work described in this thesis is the generation and application of liquid microenvironments in chemistry and bioscience using microfluidic devices. First, a computer controlled multi-stage dilution system to generate time-dependent chemical waves was developed, and its application was demonstrated on model biomembranes. READ MORE

  4. 2. Microfluidic blood sample preparation for rapid sepsis diagnostics

    Abstract : The interest for miniaturisation in chemical and biological analysis has increased in recent years. In this work, the design, fabrication and characterisation of tools for microanalysis have been studied. The focus is set on polymer microchips for applications in chemical analysis. READ MORE

  7. 5. Conducting Polymer-based Biohybrid Materials : Towards Microphysiological Chips and Soft Actuators for Bone Tissue Engineering

    Author : Danfeng Cao; Edwin Jager; Jose Gabriel Martinez Gil; Jonathan Rossiter; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The human body is a complex system, consisting of different types of biomolecules and living matters, such as nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, serum, cells, tissues, and organs. These complex biomolecules and living matters integrate and interact dynamically to perform and maintain body functions. READ MORE
